Work on the flare
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,470 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 293 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 35R at LTFM İstanbul Airport. The takeoff distance was 3,692 feet, which accounted for 28% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 49°F and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 350°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile northwest of LTFM İstanbul Airport Arnavutköy, climbing from an altitude of 1,363 feet above sea level to 37,411 feet above sea level. This increase in altitude of 36,048 feet was achieved in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 142 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 4 miles northwest of Kotel, Oblast Sliven, Bulgaria, and lasted for 120 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 908 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 3 miles northwest of Rheda-Wiedenbrueck, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany, and lasted for 29 minutes. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 36,841 feet above sea level to 1,269 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,573 feet. This descent covered a distance of 134 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was made from the southwest, heading 58.0° at an altitude of 1,266 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 46°F and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 100°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
The landing on runway 06 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was successful, with a touchdown distance of 289 feet, which was 32% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 122 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -344 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The total landing distance was 3,336 feet.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,191 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 184 minutes. The aircraft used 14,996 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, achieving a high score of 98.7%. The final approach to runway 06 was conducted from the south-west, with a heading of 58.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,266 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's performance during the landing was impressive, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 123 knots. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits, measuring 289 feet. The touchdown speed of 122 knots was well within the recommended range, and the touchdown rate of -344 feet per minute (fpm) was firm but not excessive.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 46°F and a gentle wind of 7 knots from a direction of 100°. The crosswind component was minimal at 5 knots, while the headwind component was also 5 knots. These conditions contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The aircraft's landing distance of 3,336 feet was only 32% of the available runway length of 10,470 feet, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the rollout alignment was also spot on, demonstrating the pilot's skill and expertise.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-700 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was a textbook example of a well-executed landing, with the aircraft performing flawlessly in a variety of conditions. The high score of 98.7% reflects the pilot's exceptional skills and the aircraft's reliability and performance capabilities.
